CALL TO ORDER: RECOGNIZE ALTERNATES. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES Neumann called the meeting to order at 10:33 a.m. Scott Larson was recognized as an alternate for Kelley Hayworth, Coralville. Dan Scott and Dave Panos were recognized as alternates for Rick Fosse and Brian Boelk, Iowa City. Knoche moved and Holderness seconded the motion to approve the January 20, 2009 minutes. The motion carried unanimously. 2. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA There was no public discussion of any item not on the agenda. 3. CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION TO THE JCCOG URBANIZED AREA POLICY BOARD ON AN AMENDMENT TO THE FY09-12 JCCOG TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO ADD PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED WITH AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT FEDERAL FUNDS Yapp welcomed Mark Rummel the new Assistant Director of the Iowa City Transportation Services Department to the Committee. Yapp stated that he was in Ames on February 18th at a meeting with the Department of Transportation to learn more about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Yapp noted that the JCCOG funding target in the amount of $3,607,000 was approved. Yapp stated that the objective of the Committee is to recommend to the Board a list of projects that utilizes the JCCOG allocated stimulus funds. Yapp stated that 50% of the funds need to be obligated within 120 days. The Iowa DOT is recommending projects that require right-of-way acquisition or environmental review not be considered unless that process has already been started and will be completed before the funding deadline. The funding is "use it or lose it" and will likely be allocated back to the State if the funds are not used by the urbanized area within the designated timeframes. Yapp also stated that project costs could increase due to demand, and recommended that the sooner projects are started the better. If not all of the money allocated is used by the project it was awarded to, that money may be allocated to another project in the area as long as time requirements are met. Yapp stated that updated project sheets were included in the packet: projects on the green sheet are eligible for the funds, projects on the yellow sheet may be eligible but have some uncertainty relating to property acquisition, and projects on the red sheet are not eligible as they do not meet the required criteria. Yapp indicated that if a project is already funded with federal funds in FY09 it is not eligible for stimulus funds. Projects funded in FY10 and beyond are eligible but the other federal funds previously allocated would be reallocated to other projects. The committee agreed not to discuss or recommend any projects on the yellow or red sheets since they did not clearly meet all the necessary requirements. Dahms stated that he thought the Dubuque Street Trail extension project may have a potential local contribution of $575,000. Parker stated that the money has been set aside for trail construction but that he has not received any clear indication of where those funds would be allocated. Yapp noted that the State recommends that a population based approach not be used to appropriate Surface Transportation Program funds, but a population based allocation could be used for stimulus funds since they do not have the same strings attached. Yapp reminded the Committee that the intent of the stimulus package is to encourage projects that will create jobs. Knoche offered a scenario for allocated funding; Highway 1 Pedestrian Bridge over 1-80 in Iowa City at $1,800,000, Old Highway 218 overlay in Iowa City at $600,000, First Avenue Trail in Coralville at $420,000, Highway 965 and Cherry Street Signalization in North Liberty at $285,000, Hawkins Drive Realignment for the University of Iowa at $400,000, and the Melrose Avenue South Curve Pedestrian Corridor Improvements in University Heights at $33,000; for a total of $3,538,000. From stated that University Heights priority is the Melrose Avenue & Sunset Street Panel replacement. Wheatley stated that the Cherry Street Signalization is North Liberty's highest priority. Holderness stated that Coralville's top priority could not be funded. The Committee discussed whether East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) funding was available to Johnson County. Parker stated that ECICOG funding is available; however, EICCOG funding would need to be spent outside the JCCOG urbanized area while JCCOG funds need to be spent within the urbanized area. Parker suggested that the Committee consider allocating funds based on population and that each entity could then decide what projects to fund. Parker stated that matching funds have not been officially allocated to the Dubuque Street Trail extension. Dahms stated that the project has been a top priority of the Johnson County Trails Advisory Committee and that he assumed that the $575,000 would be allocated to the Dubuque Street project. Knoche stated that allotting dollar amounts to entities according to population has not been something that has been done in the past. Yapp stated that a population based approach can be used as a starting point but ultimately the Committee needed to recommend a specific list of projects to be included in the Transportation Improvement Project (TIP) list. Yapp also noted that a population based approach would be difficult because the University of Iowa technically does not have a population. Holderness stated that he would like to see priority given to the projects where local matching funding is available. Wheatley suggested that the University Heights project included in the recommended list be changed from the Melrose Avenue South Curve Pedestrian Corridor Improvement to the Melrose Avenue & Sunset Street panel replacement at $50,000 which was noted to be University Heights top priority. Wheatley also suggested that the Dubuque Street South Overlay be added to the list at a cost of $52,000; bringing the total project list to $3,607,000. Dahms stated that he would like to see the Dubuque Street Trail project funded at a higher level on the final recommended list because it had already gone through design phase and would connect major trail systems which have already been completed. Parker stated that if the Committee wanted to partially fund the Dubuque Street Trail project he would need to go back to the Board of Supervisors and seek approval for more funding to complete the project. Knoche moved to recommend to the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board to amend the FY09 -12 JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program with the following projects to be funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act; Highway 1 Pedestrian Bridge over 1-80 at $1,800,000, Old Highway 218 Overlay project at $600,000, First Avenue Wide-Sidewalk at $420,000, Highway 965 & Cherry Street Signalization at $285,000, Hawkins Drive Realignment at $200,000, Melrose Avenue & Sunset Street Panel Replacement at $50,000, and the Dubuque Street Trail extension at $252,000; Holderness seconded the motion. The motion carried with a vote of 8-6 with Wilson, Parker, From, Dahms, Wheatley, and Philips dissenting. The Committee discussed whether or not there was enough support for the Dubuque Street Trail extension project and questioned whether the University of Iowa was being asked to contribute too large of a local match. Yapp stated that the motion had passed and would be sent to the Board unless a motion and a second was passed by a majority to reconsider the original motion. Wilson moved and Dahms seconded a motion to reconsider the original motion. The Motion failed by a vote of 5-9 with Wilson, From, Dahms, Wheatley and Philips voting in favor. 4. CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION ON AMENDMENTS TO THE TRANSIT ELEMENT OF THE FY09-12 JCCOG TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: CORALVILLE TRANSIT. IOWA CITY TRANSIT. AND CAMBUS Neumann stated that the construction of the new Coralville Transit Facility Phase 2 needed to be added to the TIP at a total cost of $2,000,000. Phase 1 is already in the TIP. Neumann noted a second amendment to add a 40' heavy duty bus at $354,000. Neumann explained that Iowa City Transit wishes to change three buses from being "rehabilitated" in the current TIP to "replaced" in the amended TIP. Neumann also stated that Cambus requested to amend the TIP listing for the purchasing five new buses for "replacement" to be changed to "expansion". Knoche moved and Wheatley seconded a motion to recommend the amendment to the transit element of the FY09-12 JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program. The motion carried unanimously. 5. UPDATE ON THE TRANSPORTATIONITRANSIT PORTION OF THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT AND STATE TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING. Neumann stated that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act includes funding for non-infrastructure transportation projects. Neumann noted that the State has recently approved $2.8 million in infrastructure projects including $703,403 for a new Coralville Transit Facility. 6. CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION ON AN AMENDMENT TO THE FY09-12 JCCOG TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO ADD THE CORALVILLE CLEAR CREEK TRAIL PHASE 5. PART 2 Ackerson stated that the Iowa Transportation Commission approved $226,526 in Federal Recreational Trail funds for Coralville's Clear Creek Trail Phase 5, Part 2. These funds would normally be made available in October FY10, but the Iowa DOT is requesting that the funds be utilized sooner in order to stimulate the economy. In order to do that the project must be amended into the FY09 JCCOG TIP. Knoche moved and Holderness seconded to amend the FY09 JCCOG TIP to include Coralville's Clear Creek Trail Phase 5, Part 2. The motion carried unanimously. 7. OTHER BUSINESS There was no other business to discuss. 8. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn was made by Fosse, seconded by Wheatley. The meeting was adjourned at 11 :25 a.m. ~JCCOG r~ m e m 0 r.... Date: May 6,2009 To: JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee From: John Yapp, Executive Director 7/ ~ Re: Agenda Item 3: Consider a recommendation on the FY10 Transportation Planning Work Program Following are the project summary pages proposed for the FY10 JCCOG Transportation Planning Work Program (TPWP), which include specifically requested FY10 projects and the general projects we conduct as part of our general transportation planning process. You reviewed the locally requested FY10 projects at your last meeting. The list in this packet is in the format which is required for the submittal to Iowa DOT. Last year at the request of Iowa DOT, we added anticipated completion times to the specifically requested projects. Please take a moment to review these anticipated completion times and let us know if you have any comments or would like to change the completion time for a specific project. For example, if you have a need to have a project completed sooner rather than later, now would be the time to let us know. We will attempt to meet any deadlines given constraints with data collection activities. For example, the flood of 2008 last year delayed our ability to complete many projects which we now are completing. One project I would like to call your attention to is that we will be beginning the process to update our Long Range Multi-Modal Transportation Plan, which will need to be readopted in 2012. We are using an elongated update process to ensure plenty of time and opportunity for input. More than ever, as you work on grant applications for capital and operations funds, consistency with the long range plan is weighted heavily if not required. The JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board will review this document along with additional JCCOG Budget information at its May 20 meeting. Please consider a recommendation on the FY10 TPWP to the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board. I will be available at your May 14 meeting to address any questions. jccogadm/agd/ttac- TPWP5-5-09.doc FY2010 Transportation Planning Work Program Administration Task Objective: Administration of the JCCOG Transportation Planning Division, including required transportation planning and programming documents, contracts, grant applications, agendas and information packets.

Date: May 6,2009 To: JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee From: Kristopher Ackerson, Assistant Transportation Planner ~ Re: Agenda Item #5: Consider a recommendation on the FY10 JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program The annual JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is our local programming document for federal and state surface transportation projects. Project pages and project status summaries from the draft FY10-13 JCCOG TIP are attached. Please take a moment to review your projects, and let me know if anything is inaccurate. You will notice some projects anticipated to be let in FY09 are listed in FY10 in the draft TIP. The software we use to develop the TIP does this automatically; they will be dropped from the FY10 list when they are let in FY09. In January 2009, new Transportation Enhancement and American Reinvestment and Recovery Act projects were awarded funds; these projects are listed in the draft TIP. Iowa DOT has agreed to allow illustrative projects on a limited basis in the State TIP. Using the application criteria the JCCOG Board approved in October 2008, staff created an application form for illustrative projects that was delivered to JCCOG member entities. The following projects met the application criteria and were added to the draft TIP: . Coralville, 151 Ave. Bridge over Clear Creek . Coralville, 1-80/151 Ave. Interchange Improvements . Iowa City, First Ave/lowa Interstate Railroad Grade Separation . Iowa City, Dubuque Street Elevation and Park Road Bridge Replacement To date, we have received no public comments on the FY10-13 TIP. Please be prepared to consider recommending approval of the FY10-13 JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program.

' Darian Nagle-Gamm; Traffic Engineering Planner ~lJv Agenda Item #6: Consider a recommendation on an updated JCCOG Travel Demand Model To: From: In December, JCCOG received new future land use and trip generation information on the Iowa River Landing (IRL) site in Coralville and updated the 2035 JCCOG Travel Demand Model accordingly. We also extended an opportunity for other JCCOG entities to make individual updates to the year-2035 anticipated land use conditions, the modeled roadway network, or the demographic characteristics of Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) in each jurisdiction. This spring, we updated the 2035 Future Model based on the feedback we received. The updates consisted mostly of adjustments to the number of year-2035 anticipated dwelling units or the number of employees per Traffic Analysis Zone, two important factors in determining how many vehicle trips an area will generate or attract on a daily basis. Some JCCOG entities requested a few shifts in the borders of Traffic Analysis Zones. These changes will be implemented in the development of the next Base Model following the release of 2010 Census data. The JCCOG Travel Demand Model is a living document that will be continually updated as anticipated development conditions change and new information becomes available. We will continue to make minor model adjustments on an annual basis and will undertake more involved revisions coincident with new Census data releases and/or updates to the Long Range Transportation Plan. What we use the model for: . Travel demand models are use in simulating existing travel characteristics, forecasting future travel patterns, and allowing for system-wide analysis of alternative transportation infrastructure improvements. . The model can be used to estimate average daily traffic volumes and identify future 'problem' areas, and to make recommendations about appropriate roadway capacity. . The model can be used to test roadway extension or capacity change scenarios to determine how traffic patterns would be affected. Model basics: . There are two models in use today, the Existing Base Model (Year 2002), and the Future Model (Year 2035). . Only arterials or higher capacity roadways are modeled. . Roads in the model are classified as: 1) Existing 2) Committed (funded, not built) or 3) Planned (unfunded, not built). . The urbanized area is divided into Traffic Analysis Zones which are aggregated from Census Blocks or Block Group boundaries. . Vehicle trips are produced in or attracted to Traffic Analysis Zones based on the number of residences or employees. Generally speaking, households are 'producers' of vehicle trips and employment centers are 'attractors' of trips. . The model produces daily vehicle trip estimates for each segment of the modeled roadway network. Limitations of the model: Traffic analysis models should be used for general indications of traffic patterns, but not for prediction of exact volumes. Future traffic volume data is generated with the best knowledge we have, but there is no model software that can predict political specific land use decisions as well as the cultural and economic decisions that influence future traffic. Why we are asking for a recommendation for approval: As the model is used to help guide transportation infrastructure decisions, the Federal Highway Administration requires that MPOs seek approval of Travel Demand Model updates from the Policy Board. We have not added any new streets to the model; we have updated the socio- economic and demographic information in the Iowa River Landing and other areas in the model after meeting with representatives of JCCOG entities. The attached map shows volume to capacity ratios for roads in the 2035 Forecast after the updates were completed. Please consider a recommendation to the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board on the updated JCCOG Travel Demand Model. jccogtp/mem/travelmodel5-7 .09. doc co 1.9 -Jc Q) Q) 0 ~ ....

The executive summary is enclosed for your reference; the complete draft plan is available online at: http://www.jccog.org/documents/DRAFTBikePlan_2_ 17_ 09.pdf Planning Process and Public Involvement The JCCOG Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee - composed of representatives for each JCCOG entity - has served as the project steering committee. The planning process involved three steps: 1) an inventory of existing bicycle accommodations; 2) public input process; and 3) identifying recommendations and bicycle infrastructure projects. Over 640 residents provided input into local bicycling trends and residents' priorities for the plan through two bike plan workshops and an online survey. The JCCOG planning team also met with staff from the cities, school districts, the University of Iowa, and local bicycle advocates. Engineering Recommendations For On-Street Facilities Cities that decide to become more bicycle-friendly may consider installing bike lanes. Studies have found cyclists feel safer riding in bike lanes and are more apt to ride when bike lanes are available. Local support for bike lanes parallels this trend. However, most arterial streets in the area are not wide enough to accommodate bike lanes. Where the road width is adequate, bike lanes should be considered to provide a bicycle network attractive to cyclists of all skill levels (see enclosed map). ..,.......... ..............h....'..........,~ !~';':;:::"": ..;""'-..~.."~'..., - .:'...:.-}----...:-----.

Conclusion In April, JCCOG staff presented the draft plan to some local city councils, the Board of Supervisors, and the University campus planning committee. As the 'technical' representatives of the JCCOG entities, we would like your feedback on the engineering section (enclosed); let us know your comments on any other sections of the documents, as well. Following TT AC approval, many JCCOG entities will consider adopting the plan. After a majority of the JCCOG entities have adopted the plan, we will bring the plan to the JCCOG Board for approval. I will be at your May 14th meeting to present the draft engineering recommendations. Feel free to contact me with questions at 356-5247 or Kristopher-Ackerson@iowa-city.org. 2 Executive Summary Since 1968, six bicycle and trail plans have been created by the communities in the Iowa City urbanized area: Coralville, Iowa City, North Liberty, Tiffin, University Heights, and Johnson County. Today, most of the recommendations identified in those plans have been implemented. The JCCOG Metro Bicycle Master Plan outlines new strategies to create an accessible and coordinated bike network bolstered by targeted education and encouragement programs, and enforcement and policy recommendations that build upon the existing bicycle network. The scope of the plan includes the urbanized area and linkages to surrounding areas. This executive summary highlights existing bikeway facilities, community needs, goals and objectives, and recommendations for the urbanized area. Community Needs Assessment Future bicycle facilities need to reflect identified community needs. JCCOG engaged community input in a public involvement process, which included two community workshops and an online survey. The purpose of the workshops was to identify the most well-liked programs. Table ES-1 shows the commonly requested on-street facilities. Residents indicated a desire for a number of improvements, incl uding: Engineering - Install more on-street accommodations Education - Publish bike rack location map online, including sheltered racks and lockers Encouragement - Continue to offer free operational space to Iowa Bicycle Coalition and I.C. Bike Library Enforcement - Enforce headlight/reflector laws during non-daylight hours Evaluation - Conduct peak hour counts of bicycle commuting on- street Metro Bicycle Master Plan Executive Summary Page 1 Table ES - 1.

They provide a framework to plan for the future of the Urbanized Area's bike network. The goals, in non-priority order, are highlighted below. Goall. Implement the Metro Bicycle Master Plan Goal 2. Increase the number of people bicycling for transportation and recreation Goal 3. Improve bicyclist safety Goal 4. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Goal 5. Improve health and fitness Goal 6. Education, enforcement, and encouragement Goal 7. Enhance economic development Goal 8. Build "Safe Routes to Schools" Goal 9. Provide bicycle parking Goal 10. Ensure high quality of service The plan goals provide objectives that JCCOG entities can pursue. The goals respond to suggestions and concerns that arose through the process of developing this plan. System-wide Recommendations As the bicycle network evolves, prioritizing improvements is a challenge. The master plan recommendations synthesize an inventory of bicycle facilities, input of 24 local staff and elected officials, and Metro Bicycle Master Plan Executive Summary Page 2 priorities identified through the public input process (645 participants). The following system-wide recommendations can be pursued by all communities in the Urbanized Area to become more bicycle-friendly. Engineering - Install on-street accommodations, which can include the following options depending on site conditions: . Shared lanes . Bike lanes . Wide curb lanes . Striped shoulders . Traffic calming Education - Facilitate bicycle safety through: · Public service announcements targeted at young adults; · Drivers' education classes; and · Elementary schools' physical education classes. Encouragement - Implement a coordinated way-finding system on trails and roadways across the Urbanized Area to assist route finding. Enforcement - Implement and publicize bike light enforcement program during the fall and offer discount bike lights to encourage safety. Evaluation - Achieve the platinum "Bicycle Friendly Community" designation from the League of American Bicyclists. Summary Completion of this plan is the next step toward continuing to become more bicycle friendly. With careful attention, bicycling will continue to be a viable option both for recreation and commuting. Metro Bicycle Master Plan Executive Summary Page 3 **DRAFT** Chapter Four Recommendations Cities in the Urbanized Area and the University of Iowa have a long history of bicycle planning to improve residents' quality of life. Over the past 35 years, communities in the Urbanized Area have been leaders in bicycle accommodations in the State of Iowa. As the bicycle network evolves, prioritizing improvements is a challenge. Trail development has been the highest priority in recent years and today residents enjoy over 40 miles of trails. The following recommendations expand the scope of bicycle planning beyond trails to include the five E's: engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation. This chapter synthesizes an inventory of bicycle facilities, input of 24 local staff and elected officials, and priorities identified through the public input process (645 participants). The following recommendations build upon past bike plans and outline priorities for the Urbanized Area to meet the 10 Goals of this plan - outlined in Chapter 3. The following system-wide recommendations highlight actions that all JCCOG entities can work to achieve. The community-specific recommendations address unique needs of each JCCOG entity. Except where otherwise noted, communities should maintain existing programs and facilities outlined in Chapter 2. System-wide Recommendations The success of the metropolitan trail network demonstrates the potential benefits from coordinated bicycle planning. The following system-wide recommendations are based on the Goals described in Chapter 3. City-specific recommendations begin on page 46. Engineering System-wide Recommendation: Install on-street accommodations. Goal 2 of this plan is to "increase the number of people bicycling for transportation and recreation." In terms of infrastructure, on-street pavement markings are the "next step" in becoming more bicycle- friendly. Page 34 JCCOG Metro Bicycle Master Plan . DRAFT' **DRAFT** For the past 15 years, the Urbanized Area has successfully focused resources on trails, wide curb lanes, and wide-sidewalk development. Trails are a boon for youth and recreational cyclists, as well as walkers and joggers. Yet, among residents that completed the bike survey bike commuting is more common (53 percent) than cycling for recreation (47 percent), and trails are used by commuters less often (JCCOG Bicycle Survey, 2008). Five types of on-street facilities are used locally to facilitate cycling: · Shared lanes · Striped shoulders · Bike lanes · Wide curb lanes In part to facilitate on-street cycling, several communities in the Urbanized Area construct arterial roads with wide curb lanes (greater than 12 feet) and striped shoulders to accommodate both cyclists and motorists - allowing sufficient room for passing. Studies show that wide curb lanes and bike lanes are equally safe for cyclists, thus either type of facility is recommended to improve riding conditionsxv . · Traffic calming Studies have also found cyclists feel safer riding in bike lanes and are more apt to ride when bike lanes are availablexvi, xvii, xviii. Local support for bike lanes (Table 2) parallels these national trends. However, most arterial streets in the area are not wide enough to accommodate bike lanes. Where the road width is adequate, bike lanes should be considered to provide a bicycle network attractive to cyclists of all skill levels. Table 2. Preferred on-street bike facilities at 2008 bike plan public workshops On-Street Facilities Bike Lanes (new streets) Bike Lanes (existing streets) Sharrows Way Finding Signs Bike Boulevards Bike Routes Signed "Share the Road" Total Count Percent 118 32% 96 26% 65 17% 38 10% 28 7% 21 6% 8 2% 374 100% Since bike lanes facilitate increased ridership, the Federal Highway Administration recommends using bike lanes where adequate width is availablexix and along routes where non-expert cyclists (B/C level) are common (e.g., school areas, commercial areas, universities, etc.). Shared lane arrows (or "sharrows") could prove to be a workable alternative to bike lanes where road width is inadequate for bike lanes. The provisional MUTCD provides the following guidance: >> DRAFT>> JCCOG Metro Bicycle Master Plan Page 35 **DRAFT** If used on a street without on- street parking that has an outside travel lane that is less than 4.3 m (14 ft) wide, the centers of the Shared Lane Markings should be at least 1.2 m (4 ft) from the face of the curb, or from the edge ofthe pavement where there is no curb. If used, the Shared Lane Marking should be placed immediately after an intersection and spaced at intervals not greater than 75 m (250 ft) thereafter. The Shared Lane Arrow may be used to: A. Assist bicyclists with lateral positioning in a shared lane with on- street parallel parking in order to reduce the chance of a bicyclist's impacting the open door of a parked vehicle, B. Assist bicyclists with lateral positioning in lanes that are too narrow for a motor vehicle and a bicycle to travel side by side within the same traffic lane, C. Alert road users of the lateral location bicyclists are likely to occupy within the traveled way, D. Encourage safe passing of bicyclists by motorists, and E. Reduce the incidence of wrong-way bicycling. - Source: Provisional MUTCD, 2009 In general, on-street facilities should be installed in the Urbanized Area only where FHWA criteria (outlined in Appendix A) are met. Additionally, consideration should be given to corridors with high volumes of bicycle traffic and corridors where cyclists frequently disobey the rules of the road, such as downtown Iowa City. Based on roadway width, speed limit, traffic volume, on-street parking, number of non-expert cyclists, and sight distance, the following maps highlight opportunities for bike lanes and shared lane arrows.

The main factor in this increase is a change in the obligation limitation from approximately 85% to 93%, which increases the available amount of STP and TE program funds. The funding forecasts will be revised annually to reflect federal adjustments. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget estimates that a reduction in funding of the Highway Trust Fund is possible in FY2010. The likelihood of funding shortfalls only increases in FY11 and FY12 unless action is taken by Congress; we will keep you apprised. SAFETEA-LU will expire at the end of FY09 and initial discussions suggest changes from the past three reauthorization acts. With current information, our unallocated funds amount to: Unallocated FY11-12 JCCOG Fundino Taroets Surface Transportation Program: $3,923,003 Transportation Enhancements: $674,065 After our TIP is approved by Iowa DOT later this summer, we plan to administer a funding process. The application forms will be distributed this summer and tentatively will be due in October. I will be at your May 14th meeting to present this item and answer any questions.

Date: May 7, 2009 To: JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee From: John Yapp, Executive Director 7 y.."..- Re: Agenda item #10: Update on I-JOBS Bonding Program Pending the Governor's signature, the I-JOBS bonding program includes over $700 million in State bonding authority for a variety of projects. These projects will be administered out of different State departments. Not many details have yet been developed on the structure of grant and loan fund programs created from the I-JOBS program; this memo is meant to give an overview of the different types of projects that will be eligible. Disaster Related Projects: Approximately $118 million in revenue bonds will be used to create a competitive grant program for disaster rebuilding and reconstruction projects and for flood prevention. Additionally, about $46.5 million in grant funds will be designated to targeted areas which were impacted by the 2008 flood. Another $25 million in revenue bonds will be used for water shed and water quality related projects including flood prevention projects. Sewer Systems: Approximately $35 million in revenue bonds will be available for sewer construction in communities under 10,000 population. An additional $20 million will be designated to a competitive grant program for any community through the Iowa Finance Authority. Housing: Approximately $5 million will be designated for houses damaged in the 2008 flood. Another $20 million will be designated for affordable housing for certain elderly, disabled, and low-income households. Another $10 million will be designated for the construction or renovation of public shelters for domestic abuse and emergency housing. Energy: Approximately $10 million will be used to create an alternative energy revolving loan program. Broadband: Approximately $25 million will be allocated by a newly created Board for public broadband systems. Building Projects: Approximately $285 million will be split between building projects already scheduled, such as the Iowa Veterans Home reconstruction and the Mitchellville Prison expansion, and other vertical infrastructure projects to be determined next year. Once the bill is signed, more details will become available about how to access these funds. University Repairs: Approximately $100 million is designated for repairs on the University of Iowa campus. Transportation Improvements: Approximately $50 million is designated for the rehabilitation of state bridges. Approximately $10 million is designated for alternative modes of transportation, including airports, rail, trails, and the Rebuild Iowa infrastructure fund. Approximately $45 million will be designated for local roads. This funding will likely be distributed 50% to cities via the street construction fund, and 50% to counties via the secondary roads fund. Part of the $45 million will be distributed in FY10 and part in FY11. This funding can be used for construction and maintenance activities, but how the funding is used will be need to be tracked and reported. ESTIMATE OF TRANSPORTATION FUNDS DESIGNATED TO JCCOG ENTITIES JCCOG Entity Transportation Funds Estimate Coralville $167,333 Iowa City $604,451 North Liberty $69,999 Tiffin $10,000 University HeiQhts $9,564 Johnson County $350,671 Once the bill is signed, we will have more definitive information, but we wanted to give you some estimates of how this money would be distributed. jccogadm/memos/ttac_I-JOBS .doc 2
